My plans for today were to simply go to school and then leave during lunch for the special Toman meeting, so why was I sitting in a diner with Mikey and Draken; why could I also see Takemitchi seated at another table a short distance from us. It is a wonder dumbass 1 and 2 hadn't noticed yet he was being very apparent.

The only good thing about all this is that they were still yet to know that I was an orphan. I was on my way to school, in uniform, when I met Mikey and Draken, the former of which dragged me over to his house, proclaiming that I couldn't hang out in my uniform. Currently, I was wearing some of Emma's clothes: the girl was more than happy to dress me up; it annoyed me. The girl had put me in a skirt and, excluding school for school purposes, I hated wearing skirts without any proper reasoning it is a big nuisance, especially since I'm a member of a well-known gang.

"What the hell!"

I stopped gazing at Takemitchi and looked over to Mikey. Our meals had arrived, and unfortunately for the diner, Mikey's meal had no flag.

"I'll never forgive this." He ranted, vengeance evident on his face. His words caught the attention of Takemitchi, whom I could see looking over at us from the corner of my eye, his face written with concern.

"Huh." Draken finally voiced his confusion over Mikey's outburst; meanwhile, I remained silent fighting over food wasn't something I was interested in involving myself. "There's no flag!" grumbled Mikey as he turned to look out the window. "I got the kid's meal because I was excited for the flag."

His words had made our waiter sweat profusely with a string of apologies leaving his mouth.

"I...I apologise. I'll put one in right away." The waiter stammered, presenting Mikey how sorry he was by bowing. Whilst the waiter apologised, Draken pulled out a ziplock bag filled with kid's meal flags, taking one out. He placed the flag on Mikey's meal and gave me a look I knew all too well.

"Look, Mikey. A flag." I cheered, making the boy quickly turn his head to look at his food.

"Wow~~~! You guys are the best, Kenchin, [Name]-chin!" The boy cheered back, eyes shining as he saw the flag on his plate.

After that, we calmly ate our meal, some small talk was made. The boys mainly asked me questions about my high school and cram school.

"[Name], do you have to do summer classes?" Draken questioned, clearly in distress over the matter.

"Not necessarily; I only do it because it's better than having to stay at home," I answered with a small smile as the previous expression on Draken's face disappeared, relief washing over at my words.

"Why did you ask anyways, Draken?" It was my turn to question the tallboy. He began to sweat and had to drink before he looked ready to answer me.

"W...Well, I assumed that it was compulsory to attend summer school. My grades aren't the best, so I believed that." He answered a meek expression danced on his face while he spoke. 

Our discussion was interrupted by the sound of snoring. Mikey had fallen asleep...on my lap. I hadn't even noticed him placing his head there yet when I looked down; he, sure as hell, was peacefully resting on me.

"I've had it! Shut the hell up, Mikey, and get off of [Name]!" Draken complained, gazing down at the sleeping Mikey.

I chuckled at Draken's words; although he didn't show it, he did care for the sleeping commander.

"Quit falling asleep after you eat." He grumbled, gaining a few incoherent responses from the sleeping teen. "Jeez. What are we gonna do with you?" I snickered; a smile appeared on Draken's sweat dripping face as he turned to me.
